Hi,
Was wondering if anyone can offer any advice regarding the following
email I received today ?
I'm not sure what to make of it, I can only assume it's related to
vero issues, but the email address it was sent to is not related to
any ebay accounts that I have used in the past few years.
It looks genuine enough to me, and came from
litenfo@microsoft.com.
Any thoughts ?

Dear Hotmail User:
Microsoft has received a Subpoena demanding production of all business records associated with the following account: ****@hotmail.com .
The Subpoena requests that we release subscriber information and associated data, which may include the name, address, and other personal information entered by you when you created the account, as well as the account registration date, logs of Internet Protocol Addresses from which you created and have accessed the account, and other recorded data (collectively, “Subscriber Data”).
Pursuant to Microsoft’s policies and applicable laws governing the disclosure of Subscriber Data in response to legal process, we are giving you notice of this request and an opportunity to seek a protective order from the Court blocking or restricting disclosure of the data listed above, if you so desire.
If you believe that disclosure of the Subscriber Data should not be made by Microsoft, you MUST challenge this request by taking the appropriate action with the Court and send notice of such a challenge to: Microsoft Litigation Policy Enforcement.
Note that formal action in the court is required. Informal actions do not suffice to relieve Microsoft of its obligation to comply with the Subpoena. It is your responsibility to take the appropriate action and to ensure that we are notified of such action. We cannot advise you on what appropriate action is required and we strongly recommend that you seek the advice of an attorney in this regard.
If notice of a challenge is not received by Microsoft by November 17, 2008, we will be required to disclose the information described above to the subpoenaing party.
Sincerely,
Microsoft Litigation Policy Enforcement
